Chapter 185 Meeting the Best Him: Red Dust (20)
20
Go outside, find a place where no one is around, cover your mouth and cry hard.It's a good thing, I'm seeing my brother soon, but I feel so far away and so difficult.

She is seventeen years old and has been incognito for 12 years.At first, he was sent to the fence and was looked down upon by others, but later he followed the master. Although he ran the practice field and held the ghost knife, his life was more comfortable than before.In the future, it should get better and better!Only when you settle down and have a proper identity can you behave grandly.Her encounters are piece by piece, and at a certain time, she has to say goodbye to the previous personnel, change to a new environment, meet all kinds of people, and deal with all kinds of people humbly, endlessly.

She looked up, the sun was blocked by the roof, and the sky was blue.The face soaked in tears was a little dry in the wind. She rolled up her sleeves and rubbed them, breathing deeply.Walking along the street, passing by the wine shop to beat a catty of Erguotou, then cut a plate of beef, and a plate of orchid beans, wrapped it up and took it back to the compound.It just so happened that Xia Zhi went to Mentougou to see his parents today, and she and the master could talk about themselves alone.

Master is a sensible person. She has been with him for six years, and he watched her grow up. Now that she is leaving, she said a few words. People think that your wings are hardened and you can't hold them anymore, which hurts his heart.But if you want to make it too clear, she also has taboos, she pulls out the bottom of her pocket, not knowing what other people are thinking, if there is a mistake, it will be too late to regret.

I should be happy that the problem I've been pondering for several days has been solved, but I can't relax.She entered the door unhappily, and the neighbors greeted her, and dismissed her with a casual response.After sitting in the room for a while, I put away the food and wine, and fastened the bamboo hat.It's still early, she can't stay idle, let's tidy up the house, wipe it here and there, even polish the tin tea hanger that was blackened by smoke.

I have nothing to do again, remembering that Twelfth Master said he likes to eat mulberry fruit last time, he took a basket and went to the back of the yard.

There are always customs of one kind or another among the people, such as not planting mulberry in the front and not planting willow in the back, which is a very common farming habit.This mulberry tree grows at the corner between the two yards and does not interfere with the neighbors, so it is big enough to survive, and it is still alive with luxuriant branches.The children around pointed to this tree when the fruit was ripe, stood under it and knocked it with a small bamboo pole, and when it fell off, it didn't matter if it rolled in the yellow mud, so they took their clothes and went home to wash them off. .So after a summer, the children's clothes are so worn out that they can't be seen, they are all mulberry juice.The adults will beat you up, make you greedy, and tell you to ruin your clothes!The fight was wild, but it did not hinder the children's enthusiasm for the tree.

When Dingyi went, several children were there, because the beating at the bottom was almost done, and they all looked up at the top eagerly.The world above is Dingyi's world, she can climb high, get on the roof quickly, and pick it up effortlessly.

Chengzi didn't come, and the fruits were ripe, plump, and purple and black.She climbed up to the courtyard wall without haste, stood on the top of the wall and stretched out her hands, and it didn't take much effort to pick a basket.When they came down, the children held their fingers in their mouths and called her in a drawn-out tone, "Brother Xiaoshu..." She laughed and shared a handful with each of them. It was enough for Twelfth Master to eat.

Go back and soak it in water, hang it on the tree to be exposed to the wind and sun, and it may attract insects.She squatted by the well to change a few basins of water, feeling overwhelmed by something in her heart, staring at the fruit in a daze.

"That's it? Put some salt, in case there are maggots in it, it can be forced out."

She looked up and saw that the master had come back. The evening was very hot, and the master's face was covered with oil and sweat.She hurriedly fetched water to fetch a towel, "Wash, look at the sweat."

"What are you eating today?" Wu Changgeng asked while wiping his face, he was more concerned about this, "The cook has returned to Mentougou, we can't wait like the long neck in the pond, or we can get a bowl of fried noodles."

Dingyi said: "I've prepared everything, there is wine and meat." After a little hesitation, looking at Master's face, he whispered, "Master, today I... have something to tell you."

Wu Changgeng glanced at her, there was no major change in his face, but his eyes dimmed, and he answered after a while, "I told you the day you became a teacher, you have to walk on your own, take a step and look back, and walk in self-examination. Not at all." He poured out the water in the basin, put a towel on the edge of the basin, and stood silently for a while, "If you have something to say, let's talk in the room, it's not the place to chat outside."

When he entered the room, Dingyi looked at Master's back and felt more and more uncomfortable.The old man usually doesn't talk much, but he is very straightforward. The two sentences just now seem to have seen something.She sighed, he must have felt that she looked down on the executioner's job, and she was all about climbing high branches, and the white-eyed wolf was not familiar with it, and she loved her for five or six years.Thinking of this, my eyes are red.

After entering the door, the master sat at the table, took a look, and hooted, "The dishes are not bad today, the meat is secondary, and the orchid beans look good to me. Is it spiced? Salt baked I don't like it, it's too salty, and it's too salty to eat."

Dingyi hurriedly handed over the chopsticks and filled him with wine, "It's five-spice, I know you like this taste. I tasted one on the way back, and it was fried very well, not hard."

Wu Changgeng nodded, took a sip of his wine, "Erguotou is quite authentic."

Dingyi didn't know how to speak, he stood by the side, he hummed, "Why don't you sit down? Sit down and talk about the big thing."

She answered yes, holding a pot in her hand, and did not eat or drink together.The master was silent for a long time, looked at the wine glass with drooping eyelids, and sighed after a while: "There is always a banquet in the world, so don't feel bad, it's not a big deal. After leaving my teacher's school, I'm still in four or nine." Walking around the city, I can still see each other if I want to. People and people, let alone apprentices, are daughters, who should marry and have to marry, there is no reason to stay for a lifetime. It is me... I am a bit reluctant. After all, there are so many people around In this year, I treat you and Xia Zhi as if I were my own."

Ding Yi burst into tears when he heard it. He had a plan behind his back, but Master knew it all.This time she ran back to the palace, the master didn't blame her for anything, because he never thought of detaining her from the beginning to the end.

There are rules for accepting apprentices in the market. Entering the master's school is like signing a contract of prostitution. When you leave the master, you have to work for the master for a few years first. After the master returns the book, you can start your own business.For someone like her who dropped picks halfway, the teacher won't let her go, so even if you die, you will die here.

Master is so kind, she was full of mixed feelings, she left her seat and knelt by the table, choked up and said, "I have my own difficulties...Master, I will never forget that I am your disciple no matter where I go."

"Get up..." Wu Changgeng patted her on the shoulder, "You and I don't have to do this. People go to high places, and water flows to low places. There's a saying in ancient times. As for me, I don't have any children. , at this age, I don't point to anything else, but I hope you and Xia Zhi will be happy. Shu'er, the gate of the house is not like the other places. Once you enter, it is difficult to get out. The people on duty together are good, and when it is urgent They can help you. When you’re new to a place, it’s nothing to be talked about, or even punched. If you hold your breath, hold your breath, you’ll be down. You have to be rooted, You can’t just float around like duckweed, can you? You’re not young anymore, it’s time to think about yourself.”

She raised her face, crying with tears all over her face, grabbed Master's leg and said, "It's not that I don't look down on our profession. I can't follow others who say that it's not good for us. Master, I have no choice but to join the Seventh Prince's family." My own reasoning, I want to go to Changbai Mountain to find my brother. You don't know, I..."

"I know." Wu Changgeng sipped his wine and said, "You forgot where your master works, I have worked in Shuntian Mansion for nearly 30 years, I can tell who is what at a glance. I just want to ask, have you thought about how to get out after entering the guard class?"

Dingyi was dumbfounded, she underestimated her master, thinking that he only knew that she wanted to enter the palace, but he even knew her background.Besides, she really hasn't thought about the question he asked.It's not easy to get in and out of the palace compound. She was so focused on going to Changbai Mountain that she forgot about such an important thing.

Wu Changgeng glanced at her, "You, everything is fine, but you are too young, inexperienced, and careless about things - of course, better than Xia Zhi. What's wrong with you two? You look smart, You're so heartless. I think it's probably because I didn't teach well. Why do I do this... There is no other way now, but to take a step and see. You can go as you go, but there is one thing to remember , you can’t recognize your relatives indiscriminately, and you must be especially careful when you are with the prince. Think about it, you are a guard, and you are the person next to him, but you have a few brothers who have been exiled, what do you think?"

Ding Yi even forgot to cry, "Master, do you know that I am Wen Lu's daughter?"

Wu Changgeng turned his eyes to look at the rafters of the roof, and the orchid beans were chewing loudly, "I knew it earlier, and I often think about it. It's not good for you to see so much blood in a girl's house. Now you want to move the place, I don't think so. You are good. Move the tree, move the dead, move the living, you are here with me, you learn the skill of slaughtering people, you will not be useful in the future. After all, you are a girl, husband and wife are the right way, can you still run the court for the rest of your life?" He Smiling, the wine in the glass became stuffy after a sip, "I, Wu Changgeng, take you two, it's like having a perfect son and daughter. After you get promoted, don't worry about me, I'll be fine. But if you're down and out, remember Dazayuan There is a master here, and I will never dislike you sooner or later. Come back to the master, and I will not starve you if I have a bite."

When he said that, Dingyi seemed to have been soaked in brine once, and his heart was wrinkled, and he wailed and said: "From now on, I will treat you as my own father. As long as I am promising, I will definitely buy you a house and buy you a house." Order the girl."

"Okay," Wu Changgeng said with a smile, "then maybe, my aunt's future is uncertain. Find a good son-in-law, and everything will be settled."

Dingyi smiled through tears, and with the master looking at her, she felt that she had no worries.

Sanqingzi saw this scene when he came over to visit, and asked in a low voice, "What are these two acting like? They are crying and laughing at the same time."

Wu Changgeng, like most parents, loves to show off when his children have a future, "Our little tree, I've been photographed by the lord, and I'm going to go to Prince Xian's mansion to be Goshha."

San Qingzi slapped his hands with a piece of beef in his mouth, "Good thing, I've given your master a face. If it wasn't for the knife bearer in our yard, or the water and fire stick bearer, we haven't had any guards yet. It's time to leave!"

Dingyi hurriedly said a few words modestly, looked at the master and said, "Third brother, the one who worries about me the most is my master. I will ask everyone to take care of me in the future, and I will come back to see when I have time, forget about it." It's not for everyone's benefit."

San Qingzi sat down on the other side, and poured himself a bowl of wine, "The neighbors in the street have lived together for many years, so I will help you if you have something to do. You work hard, and I will promote my son when I become a team leader in the future. Here I bow to you."

Just like that, she had an account of her previous life.

Go out and stand under the eaves to watch, the sky in the evening is full of angry clouds, dragonflies fly by in groups at low altitude, and the wild singing of children resounds in the alley: "Old Liuli, fly over..."
